violation has occurred. The rule also provides that "[w]henever practicable,
the hearing shall be held before the sentencing judge". See also §§
11-709(b)(2)(i) and (3)(i), 11-712(d)(2) and (3)(i), 11-714(b)(1) and (3)(i)
and (d)(2) and (3)(i), 11-715(d)(1) and (g)(1)(i), and 11-723(b)(2) and (3)(i)
of this subtitle and accompanying Revisor's Notes. If the General Assembly
chooses to amend subsection (c)(2), a corresponding change should be made
to subsection (c)(3)(i) of this section, which refers to the recommendation of
the "sentencing judge".

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the phrase "[s]ubject to paragraph (4) of
this subsection" is added to clarify that paragraph (4) imposes additional
limitations to the eligibility criteria for the program. See also §§
11-709(b)(3), 11-714(d)(3), and 11-723(b)(3) of this subtitle.

In subsection (c)(5)(ii) of this section, the former reference to "housing" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to the synonymous term
"lodging". The term "lodging" is also used in numerous other provisions of
this subtitle. See, e.g., §§ 11-703(d)(4)(ii)1, 11-704(d)(2)(i),
11-706(b)(5)(ii)2 and (d)(1)(i), and 11-707(b)(2).

In subsection (c)(6) of this section, the former reference to a fee "imposed
under this paragraph" is deleted as implied in the reference to "fee".

In subsection (c)(7) of this section, the reference to inmates "in" the home
detention program is substituted for the former reference to individuals
"who may participate" in the program for brevity.

Also in subsection (c)(7) of this section, the former reference to the Sheriffs
authority to limit the "maximum" number of individuals in the program is
deleted as implied in the reference to the Sheriff's authority to limit the
"number" of inmates in the program.
